Next In Fashion, Episode 4. A good example of the nasty domino effect that unfolds when you don't own your Yes and your No. Not an empowering place to be.
Since when did we become afraid of ourselves? Some of us step out in spite of doubts and insecurities. Isn't that all there is? We are here for just a moment - why wait?
[Life] While working this afternoon, a sobering thought shot through my head: “Freddy is done with all this.” My cousin died unexpectedly six weeks ago, and this thought made me question why I am doing what I am doing.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - Ladies, who does your makeup? I love the way your eye makeup is done. Picking up a lot of tips by just watching the show.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - My two favorite quotes: “Who gonna check me, Boo?” and “Bring it on down.” Hey, we all have moments where we have to stand our ground.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - Love watching the Season 2 reunion specials. So powerful to see women making the effort to reconcile and move past shouting and name calling. Well done, ladies! And yes, you are still funny and entertaining. Love you!
I am convinced that in this life it is not about women vs men. What matters is that women uplift women. There are so many issues we deal with as women that only women can relate to. When we uplift each other, we can uplift the rest of the world.
Jealousy is highly overrated. If you were to stop and ask yourself what feeling jealous over someone else gives you, you would be surprised at the answer: Nothing!
I refuse to believe that human beings can’t be civil to other human beings. When tragedy strikes, we seem to set all differences aside. What happens afterwards? Do we lose the ability to be human?
[Real Housewives Shows (Netflix)] I love the unscripted element of reality shows but I am shocked to see the vicious nature of human beings come out. What happened to forgive and move on? Is it really so hard for women to get along?
[Makeup & Marianne] Fear cannot hang around if love shows up. This statement immediately brought a situation to my mind that I have felt trapped in for over a year, involving money owed to me by someone else. I am beginning to look at it differently. Thanks, @marwilliamson
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - It’s not that we don’t want to take the advice of mentors when we decided to make the switch to entrepreneurship. We don’t have a clue as to what it is we really want. We feel a burning passion for something but it is not yet focused.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - A mother’s intuition. As adult women, we think our mothers still treat us like little girls. Sometimes they do. But when it’s for real, we know it in our guts, no matter how hard we try to deny it. Kandi, your mom has vision you don’t.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - “Feel the fear and do it anyway,” says a book title. My girl Kandi, who was prepping to launch her solo career after an absence of more than a decade as a singer, was filled with fear but crushed it - and landed a sweet record deal.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - Everyone has something to offer the world. Even Kim, who doesn’t like to work but likes to live like a queen. Imagine what those of us who feel we have a mission to fulfill can accomplish. Why are we so scared? Do we need to be scared?
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - Kandi is my girl. She gets the purpose of life: to create. Like the poet Rilke’s quote: “Let me not squander the hour of my agony.” It’s in our moments of frustration that we can be at our highest creative possibility.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (Netflix) - Not sure what convinces those of us who are new to business that we can go from Step One to having major businesses in the industry clamoring for our stuff. It’s simply a false belief. We must be willing to work hard and pay our dues.
